SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.

• To ﬁ ll, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up “gas-propane” in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

 WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be

ﬁ lled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualiﬁ ed attendant, who ﬁ lls the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial ﬁ lling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).

Note - A reﬁ ll will last about 20 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can reﬁ ll before running out. You do not have to run out before you reﬁ ll.

• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

GAS INSTRUCTIONS

 CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet

whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is reﬁ lled.

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

• The gas connections supplied with your Weber® gas barbecue have been designed and tested to meet 100% CSA and ANSI requirements.

 WARNING: Replacement LP tanks must match the

regulator connection supplied with this barbecue.

Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements

• Check to be sure cylinders have a D.O.T. certiﬁ cation (1), and date tested (2) is within ﬁ ve years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approximately (18 1/4 inches high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter).

• The cylinder should be constructed and marked in accordance with the Speciﬁ cations for LP - Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSAB339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes or Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.

GRILLING METHODS

NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.

You can adjust the Left and Right burners in each burner set as desired. The control settings are High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O).

If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

WARNING: Check the bottom tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease ﬁ re in the bottom tray.

Preheating

Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your Summit® gas grill according to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. Turn both burners in

each burner set to High (HH), close the lid, and preheat grill with the lid down until grill thermometer reaches 550ºF (260˚-288˚C).This is the recommended broiling temperature. This will take approximately 10 to 15

minutes, depending on outside temperatures.

Covered cooking

All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the Summit® gas grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill. All preheating and grilling is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.

Flavorizer® system

When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer® bars, they create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued ﬂ avor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, Flavorizer® bars and the ﬂ exible temperature controls, uncontrolled ﬂ are-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the ﬂ ames. Because of the special design of the Flavorizer® bars and burners, excess fats are directed through the funnel-shaped bottom tray into the grease catch pan.

DIRECT COOKING

The Direct Method, similar to broiling, means the food is cooked directly over the heat source. For even cooking, food should be turned once halfway through the grilling time. Use the Direct method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, vegetables, and more. Direct cooking is also necessary to sear meats. Searing creates that wonderful crisp, caramelized texture where the food hits the grate. It also adds great color and ﬂ avor to the entire surface. Steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all beneﬁ t from searing. To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Usually after searing you ﬁ nish cooking the food at a lower temperature. You can ﬁ nish cooking fast-cooking foods by the Direct method; use the Indirect method for longer-cooking foods. To set up your gas grill for Direct cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on High. Place food on the cooking grate, and then adjust all burners to the temperature noted in the recipe. Close the lid of the grill and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the end of the recommended cooking time.

The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a speciﬁ c food, Direct or Indirect. The difference is simple: place the food directly over the ﬁ re, or arrange the ﬁ re on either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to great results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INDIRECT COOKING

The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added beneﬁ ts of that grilled texture, ﬂ avor, and appearance you can’t get from an oven. To set up for Indirect cooking, gas burners are lit on either side of the food but not directly beneath it. Heat rises, reﬂ ects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on all sides, much like a convection oven, so there’s no need to turn the food. Use the Indirect method for foods that require 25 minutes or more of grilling time or that are so delicate that direct exposure to the ﬂ ame would dry them out or scorch them. Examples include roasts, ribs, whole chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as well as delicate ﬁ sh ﬁ llets. To set up your gas grill for Indirect cooking, preheat the grill with all burners on High. Then adjust the burners on each side of the food to the temperature noted in the recipe and turn off the burner(s) directly below the food. For best results, place roasts, poultry, or large cuts of meat on a roasting rack set inside a disposable heavy-gauge foil pan. For longer cooking times, add water to the foil pan to keep drippings from burning. The drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS

• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on HIGH heat and

close lid; heat for 10 minutes, or until thermometer registers 500˚-550˚F (260˚-288˚C).

• Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.

• Grilling times in recipes are based on 70˚F (20˚C) weather and little or no

wind. Allow more cooking time on cold or windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking time in extremely hot weather.

• Grilling times in charts and recipes are approximate. Times can vary

because of the weather, or the amount, size and shape of the food being grilled.

• The temperature of your Summit

the ﬁ rst few uses.

• Grilling conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to

attain the correct cooking temperatures.

• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound

than small pieces of meat. Foods on a crowded cooking grate will require more cooking time than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers, such as baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.

• Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a

scant 1⁄4 inch(6.4mm) of fat. Less fat makes cleanup easier, and is a virtual guarantee against unwanted ﬂ are-ups.

• Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require

turning or moving to a less hot area.

• Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing

natural juices. Use two spatulas for handling large whole ﬁ sh.

• If an unwanted ﬂ are-up should occur, turn all burners to OFF and

move food to another area of the cooking grate. Any ﬂ ames will quickly subside. After ﬂ ames subside, relight the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.

• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin ﬁ sh ﬁ llets, will require a container

for grilling. Disposable foil pans are very convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles can also be used.

• Always be sure the bottom tray and grease catch pan are clean and free

from debris.

• Do not line the funnel-shaped bottom tray with foil. This could prevent the

grease from ﬂ owing into the grease catch pan.

• Using a timer will help to alert you when “well-done” is about to become

“over-done.”

USING THE SMOKER

The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using ﬁ ner wood chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker, we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks to ﬁ nd the smoke ﬂ avor that best suits your taste.

To use the smoker

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet wood will produce more smoke ﬂ avor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body(1). As you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.

Note - Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.

Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker Burner After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to low. Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke ﬂ avor, reﬁ ll the smoker with wood chips and /or chunks. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking. Note - After reﬁ lling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again. The smoker may be used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and ﬁ sh recipes in the gas grill cookbook. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.

(1)

DANGER

Do not use any ﬂ ammable ﬂ uid in the smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

Cleaning the smoker

Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air ﬂ ow. Note - Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.

• To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse cord, plugs, or motor in water or other liquids.

• Unplug the motor from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.

• Do not use rotisserie for other than intended use.

• Make sure motor is off before placing it on the motor bracket.

• Do not operate the rotisserie motor with a damaged cord or plug.

• Do not operate the rotisserie motor if it should malfunction.

• The rotisserie motor is equipped with a three prong (grounding) power cord for your protection against shock hazard.

• The power cord should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. If use of an extension cord is required, be sure that it is a minimum 16 AWG, 3 wire well insulated cord, marked for OUTDOOR USE ONLY and properly grounded.

• When using an extension cord, make sure it is not in contact with a hot or sharp surface.

• Outdoor extension cords should be marked with the letters “W-A” and a tag stating “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances”.

• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the rotisserie motor power cord.

• Do not let cord hang over any sharp edge or hot surface.

• Do not expose to rain.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.

• A short power cord is supplied to reduce the risk of tripping over the cord. Extension cords may be used, but caution must be taken to prevent tripping over the cord.

• In absence of local codes the rotisserie motor must be grounded electrically in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

WARNING: Setup up the rotisserie with food before lighting rotisserie burner.

OPERATING

1) Remove rotisserie shaft from grill. Remove one spit fork.

2) Push the rotisserie shaft through the center of the food.

3) Slide the spit fork onto the shaft. Insert the tines of both spit forks into the food. The food should be centered on the shaft. Tighten the spit fork screws

4) Place the motor in the bracket, slide to lock.

5) Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Place the handle end of the rotisserie onto the support rollers.

6) The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy side of the meat or poultry rotates down to the bottom. Large cuts may require the removal of the cooking grates and warming rack to allow full rotation of the shaft. Remount the food if necessary for better balance.

7) Turn the motor on.

COOKING

• Meats (except poultry and ground meat) should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (20 to 30 minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)

• Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the spit.

• Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.

• Follow lighting instructions for rotisserie burner on next page.

• Set rotisserie burner on Med-High based on outside air temperatures.

• Place food within area of burner.

• If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the

food on top of the Flavorizer® bars.

• Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking. Indicated timing in the cookbook will be the same.

• All cooking is done with the lid closed.

• If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they may not rotate well

and should be cooked by the Indirect Method without using the rotisserie.

• Smoker can be used in conjunction with rotisserie for more smoke ﬂ avor.

Note - When using the rotisserie burner, grill thermometer will not reﬂ ect the temperature inside the cooking box.

WEBER® SPIDER /INSECT SCREENS

Your Weber® gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section(1) of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas ﬂ ow, and can cause the gas to ﬂ ow back out of the combustion air opening. This could result in a ﬁ re in and around the combustion air openings, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. The burner tube combustion air opening is ﬁ tted with a stainless steel screen(2) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the combustion air openings.

(1)

We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year. (See Section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:

(2)

 CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect screens with

hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.

Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the spider/insect screens and burners are clean replace the burners. If the spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site.
